This is one nasty case. Maybe the people that are in a void over the Casey trial ending can come here...

Why would you assume they thought she was an adult.

It is more likely they knew who she was, how old she was and didn't care.

Re: 14 men charged in sex assaults of Texas girl

Here is the part that is really pissing me off. Many residents of Cleveland, Texas, which is just north of Houston, are saying that the girl deserved it, because of the way she dressed.

My suggestion? Castrate the punks who raped this little girl, and while we are at it, cut out the tongues of some of the punk-ass residents of Cleveland, Texas. Hey, some of these assholes wear lipstick, so they must deserve it, right?

Not only do I agree with castration but I think anyone that says she deserved it needs to have the snot slapped out of them in public, until they are crying like a school girl unless they are a school girl, in which case a good old fashion spanking is in order.

Re: 14 men charged in sex assaults of Texas girl

I'm curious what the defense will be? Small town.. let's go with they all knew she was a kid-- no defense there. No "white" people involved, so screaming race is pretty stupid... I can't even imagine a defense. Bet they will all plea out in the end, but waste all kinds of money fighting it first. The lawyers will know this, but drag it out for a year or so to make max money off it.

I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.

To me, it seems as if, in addition to being raped, she had to suffer the additional indignity of taking responsibility for her own rape. IMO, this adds insult to injury and can be psychologically devastating, but I can see why others might disagree.
